'''Pluripotency''' is the ability or potential for a cell to be morphed or transformed into any cell in the body.

Specifically, a cell has pluripotency if it has the potential to differentiate into any one of the three germ layers:  

Specifically, a cell has pluripotency if it has the potential to differentiate into any one of the three germ layers:  

*endoderm (e.g., interior stomach lining, lungs, and the gastrointestinal tract)

*[[endoderm]] (e.g., interior [[stomach]] lining, [[lungs]], and the gastrointestinal tract)

*mesoderm (e.g., bone, blood, muscle)

*[[mesoderm]] (e.g., [[bone]], [[blood]], [[muscle]])

*ectoderm (e.g., the nervous system and epidermal tissues)

*[[ectoderm]] (e.g., the [[nervous system]] and [[epidermis|epidermal]] tissues)

In contrast, "multipotent" can differentiate into only a limited number of cells in the body.
